hi all I had my lap band two days ago so today is my first day on full fuilds I found starting last night that my stoamch is growling as if I am hungry but I really do not feel hungry , this morning I added a carnation instant breakfast to 4 ounces of protein shake to increase the protein just in case my body is telling me it  needs more. I have lost 13 pounds in 11 days I know it will slow done but I want to make sure I am not hampering my healing process

Your doing fine! I have been hearing all kinds of gurgles and groans from my stomach all the way up until now and I'm a month out from my surgery. This is my second surgery with the Lap band and its normal your body is pretty much empty at that point and I think we just notice it more and can hear the food moving through there more where before there was always something in there .. But I do know from experiance if you dont FEEL hungry dont eat. You dont want to strech out your pouch and you surely dont want to eat too much earlier in the day and be left with nothing left to eat later when you are hungry or you can tend to start over eating..

Wish all the best

Doing good I lost about 11 pounds the first two weeks , it has been a month today since my surgery and I am down 23 pounds.  I found last week the scale did not move as quickly as I had hoped but at least it is going in the right direction , I hav emy first fill in two weeks and I will need it forsure I am finding I feel hungry at times. I am trying to find a balanc between fiber and protein and keep my diet to 1500 cals when I get within 25 pounds of gaol I will then reduce to 1200 cals.
I really thought with such reduced protion size the weight would just melt LOL I have started wlaking a min of 30 mins a day as well because my work keeps me sitting most of the time.
If you want add m eas a friend and we can cheer each other on  and help one another duirng diffcult times.
take care and thanks for your post
